Pictures: Hot Springs to Erwin

One last look at Hot Springs, NC

This spring is about 18 inches across and 3 inches deep
But good cold water.

Doesn't it sound delicious?

Trail going up Big Firescald Knob

Gets you a view like this to the NW towards Greeneville, TN



Finally, a shelter with electricity!
(Maintainers have twisted minds)



I count three white blazes, how many can you find?
Yes, that's the trail.

300 miles

Going up Bald Ridge

Trail Angels- they all have done the trail previously

Cascade the trail repeatedly crosses
On a hot day the water is so nice!
